Thank you so much for reading Pride and Prejudice. I have listened to it so many times over the last three months (since I downloaded it) that I now know most of it by heart! I love your accent (I’m from England) and I usually listen to it in the car or in bed. It is just the thing to while away the long car journeys we have recently been going on.

Very many thanks for your really fantastic reading of
Pride and Prejudice. I’m reading this novel recently
and listening to your audio files along the way. You
have offered an invaluable resource for English
learners.

Shame I didn’t know you did Pride and Prejudice too… I’ve just listened to some other version with readers changing every other chapter… (still it was quite good
)

I’m listening to Pride and Prejudice right now and it’s very enjoyable, but please note the following corrected pronunciation: “Taciturn” is not properly pronounced “tack-it-turn” but instead it is “tass-i-turn”.
Thanks,
Jason
